Congratulations on the purchase of your Russell Hobbs appliance. Each unit is manufactured to ensure safety and reliability. Before using the appliance for the first time, please read the instruction booklet carefully and keep it for future reference. Pass it on if you pass on the appliance.

BEFORE FIRST USE

NOTE: When using the Sandwich Maker for the first time the unit will emit a fine smoke smell. This is caused by the heating of the elements and new components. Please follow the steps below to prepare your sandwich maker.

• Remove the product from the box and remove all packaging surrounding the product.

• Wipe the surface of the cooking plates with a damp cloth and then dry the plates with a soft dry cloth.

• Place the product on an even surface in a well ventilated area.

• Wipe the cooking plates with cooking oil or butter. This will protect the non-stick surface of the plates during the pre-heating time.

• Ensure the unit is closed, and then plug the power cord into the wall power outlet and switch on. The indicator light will glow to indicate the appliance is heating. When the indicator light stops, the appliance has reached its maximum cooking temperature.

• Switch unit off, open the lid and let the appliance cool down and then wipe clean. Repeat this procedure a couple of times, remembering to wipe clean after each use.

• Now it is ready to use.

CONDITIONING THE COOKING PLATES

• Wipe the cooking plates with cooking oil or butter. Switch the power on at the wall power outlet and once the unit reaches cooking temperature, the green light will turn off. Wipe off the excess oil or butter with a kitchen towel.

CAUTION: Take care as the cooking plates will now be hot.

HOW TO USE YOUR RUSSELL HOBBS SANDWICH MAKER• Plug the power cord into the wall power outlet and switch on. The indicator light will glow to

indicate the appliance is heating. When the indicator light extinguishes, the appliance has reached its maximum cooking temperature.

• When toasting with bread, always butter the outside of the bread and the filling is placed between the unbuttered sides.

• Place the bread buttered side down on the bottom plate, then place the filling onto the bread.

• Place the top slice of bread (buttered side up) on top of the filling.

• Gently close the lid until you can lock the latch into position. Do not force lid closed. If the lid does not close you may have too much filling or your bread maybe too thick.

• Depending on the filling, cooking time is approximately 3-5 minutes. You can check the progress of your sandwich by unlocking the latch and lifting the lid. If your sandwich requires more cooking simply close the lid and lock the latch.

NOTE: Fillings such as cheese may melt during cooking and stick to the hot plates. Wait until sandwich maker has cooled then remove with plastic spatula. DO NOT use metal objects such as knifes as this will scratch the non-stick surface.

COOKING WITH PASTRY

• The use of ready made pastry sheets such as puff and short crust are ideal. Simply place one pastry sheet on the bottom plate, then make a small hollow and place your fillings on top. Place remaining pastry sheet on top and close the lid.

• Cook until golden brown.*Note - Toasted Sandwich Maker 4 Slice, Model RHTSM4D pictured

HINTS FOR BEST SANDWICHES• All types of bread can be used – white, wholegrain, wholemeal etc. For different flavours try

using a herb or garlic butter.

• Do not over fill your sandwich.

• Be careful when biting sandwich as filling can be hot and can burn if eaten too quickly.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• After use, wait for the unit to cool properly before cleaning and storage.

• Wipe the inside and edges of the heating plate with absorbent paper towel or a soft cloth.

• Should any filling be difficult to remove, pour a little cooking oil onto the heating plate and re-heat the unit for two minutes. Wait for the unit to cool for five minutes then try to remove the filling again.

• This appliance is for household use only and is not user-serviceable.

• Do not open or change any parts by yourself. Please refer to a qualified electrical service department or return to the supplier if servicing is necessary.

• Always remember to unplug the unit from the power outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

• The body of the appliance should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not let water enter the appliance.

• Do not use bleach or other abrasive substances or solvents to clean your appliance as it can be damaging to the finish.

• To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly dampened in soapy water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry, with a clean soft cloth.

STORING THE APPLIANCE

• Unplug the unit from the wall power outlet and clean all the parts as instructed above. Ensure that all parts are dry before storing.

• Store the appliance in its box or in a clean, dry place.

• Never store the appliance while it is still wet or dirty.
